The amount of booths at the ATA show was almost overwhelming. So much to see and so many places to visit. However, I made sure to take the time to visit the booth of one of our newest sponsors, Tink’s. Tink’s had a great booth setup that featured all of their new products as well as many of their old favorites.

Now most people associate Tink’s with their number one seller, Tink’s 69. Many don’t realize that Tink’s has a wide variety of products including a great odor elimination line. Tink’s Vanish is one of the best things to hit the hunting world since warm boots. Now many of you may be saying “just another scent elimination product” but I ask you to take a closer look.

Tink's Vanish odor elimination system is scientifically proven to kick odor's BUTT. Tink's Vanish uses Byotrol® Technology which is proven to destroy over 300 odor-causing compounds produced by the human body and environmental odors. It crushes odors that send the big game running. Tink's Vanish odor elimination system also creates a barrier of protection that prevents new odors from adhering to your clothes or body. This is science at work. Not guess work. No Hype, Just Science!

Now, just to make it even better, they have added it to a pump sprayer that sprays continuously, at any angle, even upside down! No more playing twister trying to spray your back and boot bottoms. Just aim and spray.

For those of you old schoolers (like myself) that like the dirt scented products, Tink’s also offers Vanish in a “Forest Floor” which is earth scented for added scent protection. This comes in a spray bottle and uses the same great Byotrol® Technology that is in all of their Vanish products.

To switch gears a little, another great 2011 product they have coming out is their new “Magnetics Buck Attractant”. This Synthetic blend will trigger a buck’s 3 key senses: dominance, reproductive & curiosity and is effective all season. It creates a magnetic-like attraction to your hunting location and contains compounds only a deer can smell. I can’t wait to give this stuff a try! If you want to make this great product even better, try using it in one of their new “Scrape Bomb” scrape drippers. These babies Last 4-5 days, efficiently dripping the right amount of scent into the scrape. It drips during the day, not at night, to make that big boy come see you in the daylight. It also allows you to set multiple mock scrapes economically because it comes in a two pack affordably priced at around $13 retail.

Overall, I was very impressed with Tink’s new line of products and once these items hit the shelves in June 2011, they will move fast…

Robert was introduced to hunting by his uncle, Jeff Hendricks, at a very young age. He grew up in the outdoors, hunting and fishing at every opportunity. He started, as most boys do, with hunting squirrels and rabbits but was soon deer hunting with his uncle and thus started a true love for deer hunting. Jeff and Robert were two of a kind and stayed in the woods or on the water as much as possible until his uncles death in 2007.

Robert was introduced to turkey hunting by a close friend, Jerry Golden, and soon developed a passion for hunting this elusive bird. It remains one of his favorite game to hunt.

Robert has branched out of just hunting in Alabama to include states like Iowa, Mississippi and Georgia. He hopes to continue to hunt game in other states in the future. Robert is a veteran of the first Gulf war and served in the USAF for a total of 7 years, including assignments in Germany, Nebraska, Texas and Illinois.

Robert is the owner of an IT Managed Services company (www.gtinow.com) in Greenville, Alabama and is the founder of TalkHunting. He has been married to his wonderful wife, Annette, since 1985 and has 3 grown children, 2 sons and a daughter. He also has one grand daughter, (Katie) and one Grandson (Jake). Robert is also a hobbyist beekeeper.

God, Family and the outdoors are his life.....
